Woman Arrested In Knox County After Running Naked Across Four Lanes Of Traffic Hallucinating

Knox County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call of a woman running across all four lanes of traffic on US 25 near 229. While they were on the way there, more 911 calls came in reporting the woman was stripping off her clothes and was naked running up 229. Deputies found 32 year old Christy Smith Bowling of Gray beating on the door of a gas station. They say she was hysterical, saying people were chasing her and trying to kill her. Police say Bowling was wearing only underwear and had dilated pupils. Officers say she was hallucinating while they talked to her and also in the cruiser as they took her away. Deputies say Bowling told them she had done a brown substance “but it was not drugs.” Bowling was charged with disorderly conduct, indecent exposure and public intoxication.
